Abstract

One-third of all greenhouse gas emissions come from the world's building stock while accounting for 40% of global energy use. There is no way to combat global warming or attain energy independence without addressing the inefficiency of the building sector. This sector is the second consumer of electricity after the industrial sector in Morocco and is ranked third emitter after the energy sector and transportation sector. Using Ifrane as a case study, this paper examines and reviews the city's energy use and the initiatives taken to improve building efficiency. The findings showed that, during the analyzed period, i.e., from 2014 to 2022, Ifrane's annual electricity consumption climbed steadily from 35 to 43 GWh. The government of Morocco has implemented effective laws, guidelines and regulations, as well as publicized ways to reduce energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. However, gathered data and survey results revealed opportunities and challenges for enhancing Ifrane's efficient energy use. The study also evaluates government programs, codes/standards and related actions for the improvement of household energy efficiency. As part of the review, the available literature was analyzed to assess the effectiveness of energy behavior and awareness, the impact of an economical and sustainable building envelope, the impact of building retrofitting programs, the importance of energy-performing devices and appliances, the adoption of smart home energy management systems, the integration of renewable energies for on-site clean energy generation and the role of policies and governance in the building sector in Ifrane. A benchmark evaluation and potential ideas are offered to guide energy policies and improve energy efficiency in Ifrane and other cities within the same climate zone.

摩洛哥建筑部门的活动和效率:审查法国的现状和措施
全球三分之一的温室气体排放来自建筑,而建筑消耗的能源占全球能源消耗的40%。如果不解决建筑行业的低效率问题,就无法对抗全球变暖或实现能源独立。该部门是摩洛哥继工业部门之后的第二大电力消费部门,也是继能源部门和交通部门之后的第三大排放部门。本文以法国为例,考察和回顾了该市的能源使用情况以及为提高建筑效率所采取的措施。研究结果表明,在分析期间,即2014年至2022年,法国的年用电量从35吉瓦时稳步攀升至43吉瓦时。摩洛哥政府实施了有效的法律、指导方针和法规,并宣传了减少能源消耗和提高能源效率的方法。然而,收集的数据和调查结果揭示了提高法国能源利用效率的机遇和挑战。该研究还评估了提高家庭能源效率的政府项目、规范/标准和相关行动。作为回顾的一部分,对现有文献进行了分析,以评估能源行为和意识的有效性、经济和可持续建筑围护结构的影响、建筑改造计划的影响、节能设备和电器的重要性、智能家居能源管理系统的采用、可再生能源在现场清洁能源生产中的整合以及法国建筑部门政策和治理的作用。为指导能源政策和提高法国及同气候带其他城市的能源效率提供了一个基准评估和潜在的想法。
